Ex-Tampa teacher Debra Lafave seeks to end probation in sex case

Lafave asks Florida Supreme Court to terminate her probation

A former Tampa teacher convicted of having sex with a student is trying to get the Florida Supreme Court to end her probation.

The high court on Monday heard arguments about the case.

Debra Lafave pleaded guilty in 2005 to having sex with a 14-year-old-boy. She was sentenced to three years' house arrest followed by seven years of probation. A judge in 2011 ended her probation early, but that decision was overturned by an appeals court that called the decision an "abuse of judicial power."
